Was at the Riverside, CA Tyler IMAX. Line wasn't that large. Got there about 5:30 Didn't get to bring any of my stuff with me. Saw one guy with a ID Disc on his back, a few tron t-shirts, one or two Encom badges, etc etc...

No standby line was needed. Theater was about 1/2 full if lucky. The AMC rep had to read from a prepared script and in the middle of it, her walkie-talkie went off which drew a laugh from the crowd..... not sure what it was that came over, but still funny.

The IMAX countdown was in your face 3-D and pretty cool. I liked the subtlety of the movie 3D effects. Didn't deter from the experience one bit.

A lot of what they showed, I had seen from other sources, but it was awesome to see the new stuff. Disc wars was my favorite. "So that's how this is played" AWESOME!

100% certain it is "Rectify" & "Games"

I used my $5 coupon to see Red afterwards. Pretty cool movie. Action/comedy shoot-em-up. Definitely recommend.

Can't wait to see what's next for this..... I am seriously thinking about catching the midnight opening of this, even if I do have to work at 8am the next day.

Id have gone to the preview and taken my chances in a line... If the response from the theater wasn't essentially, "No tickie, No watchee!' when I asked them over the phone about standby accomodations.
It took them 5 minutes with me on hold to get that much info.
Disney, please give your temporary partners a bit more detail when setting these things up. It sounds like confusion was the one constant for the events.

You know, at the Montreal showing there was something that they were promo-ing that nobody mentioned yet. There was this big speech by one of the ushers before the showing about these Oakley glasses that were on display.

He said that it was an Oakley/Disney/Tron collaboration and there were 2 types pf glasses, a high end pair of Tron sunglasses (which were nice) and an Oakley/Tron set of 3D glasses, so you could own your own pair of 3D glasses instead of using the theater ones. And if you bought the Oakley 3D glasses, you got a ticket to an exclusive showing of Tron Legacy on the 15th.

There is only 1 store in Montreal that is selling these glasses. They didn't mention the prices.

Ah, the $800 Oakley's. Insane price for a pair of sunglasses, but I guess if you're used to paying that much it isn't that big a deal.

Re: tron glasses

Yep, those are the ones. If i go back to the theater and if they are still on display all take a few more detailed pics.
That blue squashed octogone type thing that is on the box was also on the side of the glasses.

There was no demo of the 3D Oakley/Tron glasses.

And, forgot to share this in my other post, but when I got to the Orlando showing there were 5 police officers as someone else already mentioned, which I thought was so overkill. I told my brother that at this rate...I am thinking there are Disney Secret Police agents up in the projection booth protecting the film with M-60s, and he added, and they are probably wearing mickey ear hats. It was a rather amusing thought...or maybe it was just I was dead bored since I didn't think to bring a book or anything *shrugs*.

I want to see somebody do a pencil sketch of that... two beefy burly military types weapons ready wearing mickey ears flanking the movie projector.
